The Drafting Systems organization at Allied Corporation, Bendix Kansas City Division (BKC), is responsible for the creation of computer-readable media used for producing photoplots, phototools, and production traveler illustrations. From 1977 when the organization acquired its first Applicon system, until now, there have been over 50,000 different plots produced. Keeping track of what plot is on what archived tape has become a very tedious and time consuming task. This paper describes a software package using Datatrieve and TDMS running on a VAX 11/750 and how it has solved this problem.
